i've installed octave on an intel macbook pro. latest everything: fink, mac osx, apple x11.
everything works fine except when octave tries to pipe stuff to an external process. for example: gnuplot and less. then i get panic: Bus error -- stopping myself... attempting to save variables to `octave-core'... panic: attempted clean up apparently failed -- aborting... Abort with gnuplot, the abort happens straightaway. with less, when called by help (but not help -i or when displaying a large vector/matrix), i get the help info and then the abort. i am not sure how to uncover more information about the crash and would appreciate any insight. cheers, matt. p.s. comparing the install with one (octave 2.1.64) on an g3 ibook, the main difference in octave_config_info is words_big_endian = 0 words_little_endian = 1 which are swapped. but i am guessing this is a ppc/intel difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
